Places in SOMD for outside Wedding?

[Hales]

Hello!

I just recently got engaged & now I am starting the plan the big day! We have decided on a outside wedding (not in a church) but I am not sure the different places in SOMD where you can get married outside and have a view of the water. My dream would be to get married on the top of a hill/cliff and have the water infront of us. Any ideas of places I can check out?

Jefferson Patterson Park in Calvert County. It overlooks the Patuxent river. That's where my wife and I got married.

Thanks! I will look and see if I can get some pics online of it. I would like to stay in St. Marys if possible though but if it is completely breathing then I can always change my mind.

Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa is a beautiful place, you can get married right on the beach!

We just went to a wedding at Mary's Hope in St. Inigoes, and it was beautiful...absolutely lovely.

The State House at Historic St. Mary's City has a large lawn behind it overlooking St. Mary's River. It is a very pretty spot to hold a wedding. Rentals
Also right nearby is the Garden of Remembrance of St. Mary's College Image:Garden of remembrance.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. It has a trellis space that opens out over the same river {it is upstream maybe a hundred yards or so} but FYI on that spot, they do not rent out the space while school is in session, but it would be perfect if you want a summer wedding, but get in ASAP as I found out the hard way the available weekends go fast. Also on the SMC campus is a lawn right next to the Alumni house, and it is right next to the rose garden. It is a little more flexible than the garden itself.

Good luck finding a place! and congrats

+1 on Brome-Howard!
We shot a wedding there in June and it's very nice. They have some nice rooms inside the main house that work well for "getting ready" pictures. You'll probably want at least two large tents to cover the food and folks eating.

A friend of mine had her wedding by the Old State House in St. Mary's overlooking the river. It was very nice. Also, a buddy of mine had his wedding on a charter boat out of Solomons.

Been to two weddings there. Loved it. IF I'm ever that foolish again, I'll get married there.
